I guess it all started with this…
Poison by Christian Dior. My first grown-up fragrance in the
early 1980’s. I loved everything about it – the bottle, the fragrance, the
advert and the box. Especially the box.
It was a real departure at the time as most fragrance packaging aimed at women
was very feminine. This was different. Something about that combination of dark green
& black spoke to me...it glowed glamour and sophistication, but paired with
something dark and discordant.
“Poison Green”…. Used to denote danger
And as a redhead myself, it was a colour I could wear well. Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy:
It’s a colour that has followed me all my life and I love to
see it used in interiors
But then again…white is a good foil for this shade. Here
it’s also mixed with teal
When the make-up brand Illamasqua
first launched, what was my first purchase from them? Why, Rampage nail varnish
of course!
The lobby of Ian Schrager’s The
Edition Hotel in London is punctuated with poison-green statement sofas
Even though it’s not technically dark green, this bathroom is gorgeous – I love to see lush green tones paired with copper
And it packs an Art-Deco themed
punch in this bathroom:
I love dark, poison green so much
that I used it in our living room at home
It makes its way into our work…
